I learned a few things from recent rolls. Yep, this camera has a sizable light leak. And the new scanners at airports cause noticeable Xray damage (never used to have a problem).

I'd say it's used semi frequently in skate photography. Typically a close shot with a wide lens. The tilt might be to realign the viewer with the skaters body position and show the extreme angle of the trick.

Yup. And the ability to feel nothing was a super power.

Haha I love the name, but it'd be really annoying having to explain the spelling each time. Will have to suss the tune out later

This has just made me wonder what the distance around the coastline of this land mass is and how long it would take to travel it via various means.

I hear they permanently implanted a contact mic in her nuckles so the audience can feel like they are the sternum itself.

I'm a daily rider/commuter by motorcycle and I'd love to get an electric bike. I don't think I'd miss shifting gears at all, but (and I've been thinking about this) I think I'd like to have some kind of electric "clutch" that doesn't work at all like a regular clutch but performs a similar function. In this case it would adjust the throttle map. Clutch full in = throttle does nothing. Clutch full out = aggressive or linear throttle map. I have not actually ridden any of the high end e-motos to know if this is necessary, but in my mind I would miss the ability to feather the clutch.

Yeah, I'd be getting a lower class ebike coz in Australia basically an ebike has to be 250w or less and pedal assist or it falls into a grey/illegal area. I can't be arsed with running an illegal bike - even if I might never get caught/questioned.

I feel like it'd be something like:
- KTM Adv 790
- Zero DSR
- Cake Osa+
Something for offroad motocamp trips. Something electric for daily comute and runabout. And an electric grocery getter - which tbh should probs be an ebike so I could ride on bike paths etc, but I'll keep my answer more moto related.

I really love their Exquisite Corpse EP, but they're an awesome band all round. Such great layers of melody and rhythm. One of my favourite drummers - saw them recently and Stella was awesome to watch (although I thought the sound mix for them was pretty bad, which was disappointing, but other people thought they sounded great, so dunno~)

Haha so wild to see this here. A few of my friends are in the video and I met the front man at a few parties. I'm actually not sure if the band is still together, or broken up tho

Fingers crossed they didn't roll out their own solution is what I'm trying to say.

Hell yes! Swedish emo getting a spin. An exchange student put me onto these guys and this album is actually pretty solid. I liked "Run, run, run"

All good. Just wanted to check you weren't trying to play some beastly classical and thinking "what's wrong with me?!" when the neck is a mile wide haha. You'll probably be fine with most electrics, just give it time or refer to the other advice in the thread. You could go to a guitar shop and try a short scale guitar like a fender mustang/Jag - see if it makes a world of difference or not.

I first listened to this album real late at night while finishing uni assignments. (I was going thru a list of highly recommended albums at the time.) Well, essentially as soon as Teenage Riot started and the guitar tones filled my ears I stopped working and just sat there. Listened to the whole album and didn't do any further work that night - I definitely succumbed to the Daydream Nation. Still an all time top 3 for me and Eric's Trip is a personal favourite track.
This is not a surprise of course, but I hadn't thought about the drums much on this track until now. That's all
